New research suggests that human beings may have been partly responsible for the disappearance of cave bears tens of thousands of years ago. The plant-loving animals once lived across Europe. Some experts believed that the cooling climate during the Earth's Ice Age was to blame for their extinction.
Scientists reported last week t they had studied genetic（基因的）data from 59 cave bears. Their bones were recovered from seven countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Switzerland. From the genetic information, the scientists noted a decrease in the cave bear population beginning about 50,000 years ago. That is around the time of the arrival of Homo sapiens, or modern humans, in Eastern Europe. The researchers said they observed a sharp drop in the bear's numbers about 40,000 years ago. That coincided with the spread of Homo sapiens throughout Europe.
The animals disappeared about 20,000 years ago. The cave bear lived in the Ice Age at the same time as other now extinct creatures. The bear was as big as a modern polar bear, but ate only plants. It appears often in prehistoric（史前的）cave paintings.
There has been a scientific debate about what led to the extinction of the cave bear. Some scientists believe that the climate change greatly reduced the plants they needed, while others have blamed human activities, including hunting and taking up the caves where the bears gave birth and slept during winter The bear's population remained largely unchanged for long periods before climate cooling, including during two noticeably cold periods and other cooling events.
Homo sapiens s appeared in Africa more t than 300,000 years ago and later moved to other areas. The study offered new evidence that the arrival of Homo sapiens led to ruin for many kinds of animals across Eurasia, the Americas and Australia.

Pets need lots of care and love from their owners. Just like you did when you were little. 1
First, research the correct care for your animals. You can find information in books and online. 2
Second, find out routines. Animals like routines, and you're supposed to do things regularly, such as walking your pets, feeding your pets and giving them the care they need.
Third, take them out to exercise. Just like humans, overweight animals are more likely to have health problems and have shorter lives. 3 For dogs, it means daily walks; for parrots, it means spending time out of the cage. Whatever it is, all animals need it. Give your pets a big area and, if possible, let them out every day or every other day to exercise and stretch their muscles.
Fourth, teach your pets simple things. Training isn't just for dogs. 4
Fifth, take your pets to the vet regularly. 5 Look for a specialized vet. He can tell you all about the proper care that your pets need.
A. Pets will bring happiness to you.
B. You can train your cats, rabbits, or even fish.
